For all those saying, "It's just training..." think for a moment... OK no problem, it's training. Yet why precisely are they doing this over a live zone with civilians nearby/passing below? Why are they doing this in an american city and not in or on a mock up zone? Like the Afghanistan mock up in northern UK they used to use for training against the IRA?

Wake up... Blanks or not, it's still being done in a large metro area just like they've done in Chicago and Minneapolis and elsewhere... You think they're training on American streets and over American cities just because it's fun? Or to get a good idea of what it'd be like doing it in China or Russia or something? What possible purpose could this serve aside from training to act against our own cities and peoples all the while letting people know it's just a drill and to get used to it and don't be alarmed and to go back to their business so that when it get's real it's ALL just a drill?

But hey... maybe I boarded the crazy train and missed a few too many stops or something and can't just see something like this as a "simple training exercise" anymore.

Everything has a purpose...

THANK YOU! Just what do some of you a-holes think they are training over large US cities FOR? Huh? Has the US military ever had "training exercises", in shooting machine guns from helicopers over US cities in the past? Think.

Yes...it's absolute BS. completely unnecessary. all it is doing is harming people who have PTSD, and basically it is a form of terrorizing people. NOt appropriate.

If I were there, I would form an organization and get a lawyer to sue over it. The only thing it can do is to harm people's mental health.

Just so you know....it's they're only training....which is a contraction of they are.and the other post you made you should know the difference between there and their. You must have had a shitty English teacher or you were in la la land.

Don't you think this is fucked up? Or does it happen at times in America?

Military exercise or not, blank rounds or not, this is just fucked up to shoot these on top of a highway. This is just ridiculous and ABSOLUTELY not necessary. This is just asking for trouble, especially since that poster posted that the Army can't do this, by law.

Your first comment is incorrect. The east coast side of the state, south of Jacksonville all the way down to the bottom is practically ALL Liberals. Most of us folks here on the gulf side of the state are NOT !

As for your second comment, it is spot on ! The arm pit of the state.

These Choppers have been blazing up and down the state since afternoon thursday. Loads of them.It's no movie. Maybe pissed at the squatters ! LOL

^^^^^^^^THIS! You better believe that EVERY damn thing that TPTB do has a purpose. Wake up People, time's running out. Pick a side & prepare yourself. YOU have to decide what kind of a World you want to live in & leave to our Children. This is not exageration, nor a joke. We're being forced to make choices that most of us never thought we'd have to to think about, let alone give serious consideration to :-|

they would need the permission of the president and must of had his permission.

"permission"?! I'm sure they had his blessing, if the idea didn't originate from his Office to begin with. We've put up with entirely to much & it's just going to keep getting worse. Creeping Tyranny. If someone went into a coma in 2000 & woke up today they'd think they were no longer in the US. SMDH :-|
